INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN INDIA: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Keywords:
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Trade Secrets, Geographical IndicationsAbstract
Intellectual property rights (IPR) are intangible rights that grant the owner of a valued idea or production the only right to use it. IPRs are the main focus of international trade practices and means of subsistence in the current globalization landscape. While a lack of awareness of intellectual property rights and their inadequate execution may impede the nation's advancements in technology, economy, and society, these rights foster innovation by providing creators and inventors with recognition and financial benefits. Therefore, it is essential for any country to disseminate IPR knowledge and implement it appropriately. This paper elucidates several concepts related to intellectual property rights (IPR), including patents, trademarks, industrial designs, geographic indications, copyright, and others, along with the associated laws, regulations, functions, and requirements, particularly in relation to the Indian context. The paper also highlights insights into the difficulties and opportunities associated with IPR in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
